Gladiator II (2024)
8/10
Suprisingly good!
17 November 2024
Considering that Gladiator 2 is the film nobody asked for, it was a rather enjoyable sequel. Obviously, it doesn't come close to its predecessor, especially compared to its emotional weight, but it delivers a fun watching experience with great action sequences, grandiose production design and worthy performances of its cast, especially Pascal and Denzel.

Film builds itself on that popular cultural perception of the Roman Empire, but since this is a historical fiction piece, I don't mind inaccuracies, anachronisms and similar. Scott is more comfortable in this subgenre instead of real history works like Napoleon should have been.

Finally, I hope it does well box office-wise, because historical spectacles are not the films that studios are eager to invest in due to budget requirements, but if this film succeeds, maybe we could see more of them in cinemas. Cheers!

7.5. Fun and Pure hearted

Like previous MHA movies, it works like midquel that does not impact the main story in any major way and honestly even though now there is a big demand for manga arcs to be adapted into films I still love these kinds of stories are being released, living their own bubble of the fictional world, reminds me of old DBZ films.

Animation was top notch, main villain and other new charcters were interesting. Film also carries that feel-good Message and atmosphere that We all need. I would recommend it to all MHA fans out there and especially since the story has ended in the manga and will soon End in the anime as well to remind of the series' Best features.

It is no the type of film that is groudbreaking or offers something New to the story as a whole but it is a fun and fulfilling experience with the characters We love.
